8ThereforeH3705, O kingH4430, establishH6966 the decreeH633 and signH7560 the documentH3792 so thatH1768 it cannotH3809 be changedH8133—in accordance with the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, whichH1768 cannotH3809 be repealedH5709.”

9ThereforeH3606H6903H1836 KingH4430 DariusH1868 signedH7560 the writtenH3792 decreeH633.

10Now whenH1768 DanielH1841 learnedH3046 thatH1768 the documentH3792 had been signedH7560, he wentH5954 into his houseH1005, where the windowsH3551 of his upper roomH5952 openedH6606 towardH5049 JerusalemH3390, and threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118 heH1932 got downH1289 onH5922 his kneesH1291, prayedH6739, and gave thanksH3029 toH6925 his GodH426H3606, just asH6903H1768H1934 he had doneH5648 beforeH4481H6928H1836. 11ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 went as a groupH7284 and foundH7912 DanielH1841 petitioningH1156 and imploringH2604H6925 his GodH426. 12SoH116 they approachedH7127 the kingH4430 and askedH560H6925 aboutH5922 his royalH4430 decreeH633: “Did you notH3809 signH7560 a decreeH633 thatH1768 forH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118 anyH3606 manH606 whoH1768 petitionsH1156H4481 anyH3606 godH426 or manH606 except youH3861H4481, O kingH4430, will be thrownH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744?”

The kingH4430H560 repliedH6032, “According to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540H1768 the orderH4406 standsH3330, and it cannotH3809 be repealedH5709.”

13ThenH116 they toldH6032H560H6925 the kingH4430, “DanielH1841, oneH1768 ofH4481 the exilesH1768H1123H1547 fromH1768 JudahH3061, shows noH3809 regardH7761 for youH5922, O kingH4430, or forH5922 the decreeH633 thatH1768 you have signedH7560. He still makesH1156 his petitionH1159 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118.”
